Quilt Restoration


Quilt Restoration WorkshopIf you are interested in doing your own quilt restoration, read our article Repair, Restore, Conserve; What to do with damaged antique quilts (click here) for some helpful tips. Click here to learn about the Kirk Collections Quilt Restoration Workshop 4 DVD set. 

The following people are professional quilt restorers.  No recommendation is implied.  Always check references.  The American Quilt Studies Group also has a listing of quilt restorers as does the New England Quilt museum in Lowell, MA.  There is also a free referral service to conservators of all sorts available online: http://www.aic-faic.org/guide/form.html Not only can you request specific kinds of conservators but by location as well.

The Quilter's Guild of Dallas maintains a resource list of members who do all kinds of work relating to quilts. To obtain a copy, send a stamped self-addressed business-size envelope to:  Resource Chairman Quilter's Guild of Dallas 305 Spring Creek Village Suite 508, Box 521 Dallas, Texas 75248
